I remember being distinctly unimpressed by MTV's sketch comedy show The State during its first season in 1994. It wasn't until years later that I got to see tapes of the later shows and realize the truly awesome caliber of this group as both writers and performers. I've been longing for more State exposure ever since I glimpsed that bootleg.

Of course it's all on the Internet: statemedia.net has every sketch that aired on MTV, plus some extras.
